progressbar role

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/ARIA_Techniques/Using_the_progressbar_role

I have custom html5 media player, with a custom progress bar.

According to the mozilla page, it says that user agents should read the 
the progress every time it updates - but when the progress is for how 
much of the media has played it seems that would compete with the audio 
from the media itself.

Should I not use role="progressbar" in the context of media with audio, 
or is there maybe a way to tell it to be quiet unless the user asks it 
for the current progress?

I am wondering if the context of a media player is maybe wrong for that 
particular role.

I currently update the title attribute of the progress bar to identify 
the percentage of the media that has played, is that good enough or do I 
really need to give it a progressbar role?

Thank you for suggestions.

I'm not using a native html5 progress tag because I need a few things it 
doesn't support.
